Setting up my new MBP to access my iMac on my network?

[kat.hayes]

I have my 2015 MBP setup so it can access my 2017 iMac Pro over my network. I just received a new MBP from my work, and I am trying to figure out how to configure it so I can use it to also log into my iMac. All three of the Macs are logged into my iCloud account and use the same network. When I go to Go > Network from my new MBP the iMac does not even show up. When I go to the Share settings on my iMac, I can add someone from my Contacts or by pressing the + though I am not sure what to do.

IT setup JAMF on the new MBP and assigned it some odd name, that is a series of numbers and letters. Not sure if this has anything to do with the issue?

Thanks for any info.

This is strange. Just for clarification, what are you trying to access your iMac through? Mac File Sharing, or something else? If it's Mac File Sharing, make sure "File Sharing" is turned on on the iMac. Hitting the + button in Sharing preferences for a contact will NOT help. Instead, make sure the appropriate permissions are set. It should look something like this:

Have you made sure both Macs are connected to the same network?

If none of these things work, it might be that Jamf is restricting access to other Macs.

Yeah they are on the same network. Must be a JAMF thing. I also have no access to setup Time Machine change the setting that auto runs my screen. Not at all sure how or why they chose those things to restrict.

Yeah, can you contact your IT administrator, or is it not with the hassle?
